Okay, hope I'm reading the right station this time.
I have for Reading 3.0 on 5/3 (TDF already highlighted that one), 6/3 and 13/3.
Yesterday 3.5/3.6 and today 15th 3.3
MetO predicting wide timeframe locally (Winchester) of 2s starting as early as 10am but no 3 yet (when I last looked) until Tuesday- so I think it's fair to say 3 is fairly implicit around noon.

Hopefully soon a 4.

3.5 today in Reading slightly before the zenith then dipping, as the sun must have become partly obscured, before rising again.

Yes hopefully just a weekend glitch, Chilton looks to have hit a 4 today. We were nowhere near that with the cloud cover most of the day.

Hope Gusty has been well enough to get outside- my face is glowing so he would have his March tan I'm sure.

Reading's first 4 yesterday, followed by a healthy jump today to 4.6.

With Camborne offline still, Swansea took the honours with a first 5 of the year.

Interesting how the change in airflow has affected the UV over the last few days down here at least.

Gone are Reading's 4.6/4.7s from a few days ago, since then we are seeing 3.5s as the max.

Yes Bertie, I was on the river Lambourn yesterday for the first day of my trout season, and for an early April day it was glorious even with a slightly nagging easterly. Even the trout were happy and looking upwards. I bet the Itchen valley is looking wonderful, I have fished it many times but the trout season prices are a little exorbitant for most.

Today was a cracker so not surprised we were back into the 4's.

4.2 yesterday in Reading but the sky is milkier here today and the wind has dropped.
